Unless you used mobile Odin to flash the zip(which you don't extract, to flash) you used the wrong file. Use Goo manager to install TWRP recovery.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kaos217:
I followed all of the instructions relating to using CF Auto Root. (CF-Auto-Root-d2tmo-d2tmo-sght999)

Oddly, I had root & superuser briefly and got TitaniumBU installed. After trying to get TWRP recovery flashed, I somehow lost root/SU.

I am now with this 4.3 rom installed, and no root (confirmed by root checker).

Super User was installed but seems to have been removed by the root attempt.

Also cannot get TWRP installed. I went through Goo, it downloaded and I got the script notification, confirmed and rebooted. Only stock recovery is present though.

You might try DKP kernel by [MENTION=4932679]decimalman[/MENTION]
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kaos217:
Thank you imilleson, fortunately after several more attempts, I got it working.

All seems to be working great now with no complaints. My device feels refreshed and more responsive.

Only issue I am currently having is the inability to send or receive MMS on Wi-Fi.

On 4.1.2 stock touchwiz, rooted, MMS over Wi-Fi triggered mobile data to kick in and relay the messages.

Now, unless I manually disable wi-fi, MMS will fail to send or receive. It sits there either saying sending or downloading.

As soon as I disable wi-fi, voila! It works.

Anyone know how to resolve that? :eek:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] droctii:
Can anyone recommend a volume boost mod or app? My volume on 4.3 has been noticeably and frustratingly much lower than in 4.2 (or whatever I was on before). Apparently, some other 4.3 users with various phones have noted similar issues on different forums.

Thanks
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rigel1326:
I have been running two roms both built on this. For the most part both have been excellent dd's. However, both exhibit the exact same symptom. Sometimes, but not always, I can not call out using the regular cellular network. It just hangs up immediately. I saw one other person state this exactly. I then tried another rom and finding the same problem.

Right now I am running S3Rx 3.0 by enewman17 and before that the Sultan Rom 2.0 by SuperAfnan. Also, both my build and baseband's are of the uvuemjc variety and I have reflashed the att insecure kernel to try to see if it helps and nothing.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] amandadam:
So the JC and J4 modems are interchangeable with the rom and one or the other will potentially give you a better "signal"?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] razielpr:
I have never had any issues with TWRP only with the latest one ans it was with the auto name nothing more and for the date you can change it in settings
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nirogu325:
I only see Time Zone, Screen, Restore Defaults. Been on TWRP since a year or so. There has never been any option to manually change the device's date and hour, only the Time Zone.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] amandadam:
I noticed that previous TWRP nandroid backups,auto generated date and time,where as the latest adds rom info;you can change the backup name after you have created it and it still restores.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I'd suggest using a slightly older recovery for nandroid then.

As for the date, there's no way to solve this. Apparently it has something to do with how Samsung coded the date on the S3. Can't remember for sure, but they explain it on TWRP webpage.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nirogu325:
Yeah, I had the correct dates and time (on Recovery) showing until I flashed CWM. I know because I tend to sometimes be a flashaholic and do lots of nandroids. That Recovery did something to it. No biggie. Just one more step towards renaming stuff. Just letting people know my experience with it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Correct.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] HoustonsBirdman:
Regarding the Nandroid Back-up time/date/rename.. Since I started using TWRP I have hit Backup then before you swipe to start I tap my finger on the timestamp up top and it opens the text box so you can rename it. Usually something to the effect of CM10.2test, CM10.2good, 4.3test, then before flashing Leak #2 last night i made a backup of leak 1 and named it 4.3Good (since it was a good, stable rom) .. I can't just keep the auto generated timestamp cuz they just say time/date, and my memory isn't that great, I need to know was it Doc's 4.3, PA, CM, etc lol
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Sincitybronze:
When I take photos, the image appears to save but doesn't show up in the gallery. Any solutions?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] amandadam:
With Build UVUEMJ4 deodexed debloated KnoxFree installed and a nandroid of same,I flashed the nandroid,which I had renamed with just date(2013-11-11) and it wouldn't get past boot screen(Samsung Galaxy SIII),just kept looping.

I booted into TWRP recovery and reflashed the same rom,modem and 4WayReboot and it booted to the same install that I had backed up,with all of my TB apps installed.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Probably Bootloops because you restored without wiping first, I'm assuming. Since your backup was from a debloated modded version, it may have had mixed data left over causing the problem. Especially in dalvik.

It may not be the case here because the two are so close, but usually you can't restore an old version over a new without wiping first anyway.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Were you restoring the full backup, or just data btw?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Just tested and it works just fine for me.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Sincitybronze:
I switched to sdcard storage and it works fine now. Thank you.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] amandadam:
Full.I'll wipe cache and dalvik and see if that solves it.Thanks Doc.

Edit:Wiped but got same boot loop problem,????
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] chrisram88:
Maybe this is why I had to wipe twice. I probably don't wipe the first time around before restoring. I just tried again restoring leak 1 after a wipe and had no problem. They are both so solid. I'll stick with leak 1 just cuz I'm to lazy to restore it back haha

Edit: using latest twrp btw
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] michaelg1030:
Sorry for these questions I'm a nexus owner and want to upgrade my wife's S3 with a new ROM.

I skimmed through, but just want to make sure everything works especially WiFi calling. Basically, you see my wife being able to use this as a daily driver where she won't have an issue where she can't use her phone until I "fix it"

2nd does it matter which order I flash the ROM and modem in?

Thanks.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] chrisram88:
She won't have a problem with this rom at all. Everything works and battery is great. Flash the rom first then the modem.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] calexchelse:
And just to say it is the most durable daily driver I've ever had. Thanks doc
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] michaelg1030:
Thanks. Flashing shortly. Any issues going from a slightly modded 4.1.2 ROM ( still TW, just forget what ROM it is) nothings been updated on the phone for more than 3 months.

I plan on doing a full wipe and flashing via TWRP.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Maxamillion:
This happened to me a while back, but I was using Dandroid with a 4.1.2 baseband. I would try to make a call, but then it would immediately hang up. I had to borrow a phone to make the call because it kept doing that. I did flash the newest baseband a while before that happend because I was trying out the 4.3 leak, but it was unstable so i went to back to dandroid but i kept the baseband. Then I heard about issues with the newer baesbands so I downgraded back to the 4.1.2 baseband. But then I still had that problem.. Which is interesting.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] metaltrek:
Does the stock version have all the tmobile apps intact?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ckisgen:
I've been using the Leak#2 from this thread as a DD for a while now with no major issues. I use DecimalMan's banging TW4.3 kernel and also debloat the ROM a ton.

I do get this immediate hangup/can't dial out bug once in a blue moon. I haven't bothered trying to really track down the root of the issue with logs or anything yet but I can tell you that a quick cycle on/off of airplane mode fixes the issue for me and lets me successfully dial out again.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kaos217:
Having a small issue after getting things working.

I flashed the CSC_feature_mods package successfully, and while I haven't noticed many (any actually) of the features, I now have an issue where the background color in Chrome is Black until the screen is scrolled, and then text appears.

Is there anyway I can 'roll back' / unistall the CSC_feature_mods ?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Hey all,

Sorry Ive been away for several days, just been too busy to do much at all.

A couple of things real quick, the MJ2 kernel, and both modems are in the OP. You cannot miss them! Not sure why some are claiming they cant find them anywhere....

Are you using stock sms/mms app? Stock Gallery? Other potentially related 3rd party apps? Are you using WiFi calling?

Try: under WiFi settings, press menu then Advanced. Play with some of the settings there, maybe turn off the Network switching (or something like that!). Check in your MMS settings as well. No one else that I can remember has reported this issue, so I am thinking its probably a setting, app or mod.

I honestly am stumped on this one. Only about 4 or 5 people have reported this problem (that I have seen anyway). My best guess is that it has something to do with mismatched firmware, if you flashed the rom without taking the full update. Maybe if you fully update to 4.3 it will help? There are drawbacks to this, so read up if you dont know about them. And I cannot guarantee this would even help a little...

I know for at least two people, the problem was the modem. Once they updated to the correct one it worked fine. Maybe start over and factory reset, reflash the rom, reflash the modem and kernel, factory reset again, then reboot and try it out.

If it continues, try to make note of the location, then see if it just always happens when you are in that vicinity.

Yeah, when I first put this up, a couple of people told me it worked, and since a few others have said either none, or parts work....I guess I should just take it down!

Note: Always make a backup before you attempt flashing any mod, no matter how minor it may seem.

To revert, you can either copy the file from the rom to the phone. Or just reflash the rom (no wipe since you are just reflashing your current one).

If you want to change it manually, just copy /system/csc/feature.xml from the rom to the /sysem/csc/ folder.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] calexchelse:
I've been having this issue also. However, I have narrowed it down to it being not an issue with our custom ROM's. My wife's note 2 and son's t999l also is having that issue, and they are both running stock 4.3. Wife's was ota, son's was by Odin. Have a work ticket in to t mobile at the moment. The thing is, my daughter is having the same thing on her lg l9.

I have found sometimes when we flash ROM's as much as we do, and something goes wrong, we spend a lot of time on chasing the proverbial rabbit.

Happened when I first tried a non tw ROM on this phone. As soon as I flashed, I had major errors trying to download from Google play. I went back to my nandroid, same issue. Reflagged original ROM, no luck. Fought it for 4 hours. Got it finally working only to find out that night Google play was having issues for everybody that day for about 8 hours. I just happened to flash in the middle of their issues.

Sort for long post. Not saying their isn't an issue with the Roms, only stating could be a problem with t-mobile signal at this time. The tech I spoke to said this sometimes occurs when they are working on towers, but she also said she didn't see any work being done on the towers in my area, but that didn't mean they weren't or were.

Hope this helps.

Anyone can help me to know if I have t999-L/N/V? Thanks! :p

TV-out?

Is there any way to get MHL working on this rom, I tried to connect my hdmi but nothing. However it works on an pure non rooted stock so I was wondering if it can be added towards this rom?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] whgarner:
Hdmi worked for me with mhl adapter, maybe bad adapter or cable?

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Ryanmo5:
Great work on the rom man, loving it so far zero problems!

Font problem

Anyone else is having problem changing the fonts? Everytime I try the system crushes. Anyone know why it's happening?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sonnykaiboy:
So for some reason I don't have Wi-Fi
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] saotua:
Did you flashed the insecure kernel after flashed the rom?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sonnykaiboy:
That's what I forgot. When I tried flashing it after I got no service. Says my SIM card wasn't inserted
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] saotua:
Try to re flash the rom then the kernel right after that. Mine is working great, no prob at all.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] caddermeran:
That happened to me the first time I flashed the leak. I thought I was the only one. I called t-mobile and they said my imei (or whatever) was blacklisted. They unblocked it for me and I haven't had a problem since.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sonnykaiboy:
Hahaha yeah. I just had to reflash everything one after another. Everything works fine now.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sonnykaiboy:
Thanks for the help ^-^
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ticojpunk:
Flashed this, working great. Any idea why the Google Maps voice is the older computery voice and not the smoother Google Now voice?

Is there a way to correct it? Thanks.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] imilleson:
Yeah your using Samsung voice engine instead of Google. Go to input settings (see screenshots)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] H3llstorm:
Have you tried the Samsung "Female High quality" voice, updated through the Samsung Apps app? I like it better than the regular Samsung & Google voices.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] overground:
Well, I've avoided updating SuperSU and it's been working as advertised...until I installed Xposed framework. Then root apps started stalling just as if I'd allowed an update.

For those having problems with SuperSU, make sure it only resides in /system/app. The updater script only checks there, so if you've updated, make sure you uninstall the update.

It's not as nice as SuperSU, and TB will report a possible outdated SU binary, but it works with no hanging.

Hey guys, please help. I think I might've bricked my phone, I posted in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2636793

But basically, after installing this rom perfectly in december, yesterday my phone decided it doesn't want to turn on anymore. Anyone else get this???
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] overground:
If you've been running this since Dec, it has nothing to do with the ROM.

Sounds like hardware failure. Could be time for a new device, but you should try contacting Samsung to see what kind of warranty they may still offer.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cowgod2007:
thanks for the reply. thats also what i was thinking. someone recommended it could be the power button. so I contacted samsung and my warranty is still in order, but my phone is rooted from this ROM...would they still service it? I guess it would be a toss up right? Or I could just order a service off ebay for like 38 bucks? Which would you recommend from your experiences?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] overground:
Just send it in and hope for the best. Nothing much else you can do anyway.

Too bad you can't even wipe it, but I'd try everything you can until you put it in the shipping package (keep trying to get into recovery or download mode).

If it turns out there's nothing you can do, it is what it is.

EDIT: You also may want to get some electrical contact cleaner. I had a problem with my vol down button a couple of weeks ago and that cured it.

Make sure you remove the battery and allow it to dry completely (about 1.5 - 2 minutes) before attempting to restore power.

Question: How is this ROM? I need to get back to Wi-Fi calling and have been looking for one that does it, but something that is bloat free, something almost AOSP like. How is the battery life and customization?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] whgarner:
I like the rom, wifi calling available, able to tether, moderate bloat as it is the official download. Battery life ok, 24 hours with minimal use, carry a spare battery if traveling.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jaed.43725:
Went ahead and loaded it up. After using some Xposed modules got it right where I want it. Battery like stated is good, but its not a slim ROM. I did have to take out a lot of bloat with ES File Explorer though. But now that its gone. Overall I like it.

[MENTION=4081205]DocHoliday77[/MENTION] any chance you release a version with the SGH-T999V 4.4.2 official firmware? i cant find a stock Deodexed of it and seems like the tmobile firmware is never gonna come out =(
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] briand805:
hi all. did some searching but i need to ask. My girlfriend is using my old s3 T999 running wicked v10. kernel 3.0.31-370274. I also recently unlocked it and now she is on at&t. My question being this rom being an upgrade can i just flash this over the top of the old wicked rom? Or will that cause issues? Thanks for your input. also which modem should i flash and then flash the att kernel?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nirogu325:
Yes, issues ahead. Always do a full wipe in your custom recovery (Factory Reset + formatting /system and Dalvik Cache) before flashing

any

ROM for a clean flash. Dirty flash = issues down the line. Also no, it is a T999 so stick to T999 modems and TouchWiz kernels, D2LTE ROMs/kernels for AOSP ROMs. As reference, I use Straight Talk AT&T on my T999. Oh, and this is an older build. You may want to upgrade to the NC2 Firmware for the T999.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I do agree with clean flashing being the better choice, but that doesn't mean you can't first try with a dirty flash. Sometimes you will find it'll work ok. On this case, I doubt it though. Wicked is a heavily modified rom, so I would expect some problems if you don't factory reset.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] chagla:
i flashed it (not leaked one, official build base) twice, done the usual data/cache/dalvik wipe twice also. waited some time after flashing, rebooted. but i'm not able to turn on my wifi. data connection seem to be OK. tried both of the uvuem radios. no luck. i know its an issue with rom because i tried flashing another rom as a test for wifi and wifi works fine. any ideas? help?

are there other stock roms besides this one and saranhai's?

many thanks.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Flash stock firmware via Odin and factory reset.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sonwon:
Call me confused, is this available using NC2? I want the stock ROM with root and with KNOX removed. I didn't see that sticky in the forums.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Flash root66 fw.

I'm sure there's an NC2 rom around though...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sonwon:
Right you are, there is this ROM. It is of course no longer under development and from using it so far it is a good ROM. However SuperSU is acting up, I think I know the fix and will post in that thread shortly.

Is For t999l?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] scifan:
If I flash the MJC modem, and the deodexed official version and the AT&T modem, I'll be on basically "Stock" 4.3...

Would I be able to revert to an older modem/firmware if I choose to afterwards?

I knew this once, but it's been a year since I've spent much time tinkering with a T999...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ed1380:
So what does someone with the T999L do if they want to run this rom?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Anthonol:
If I flash this specific ROM and not the full official firmware, I can still downgrade without getting bricked?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nirogu325:
You can flash the latest ODIN firmware and flash any ROM. What you can't do is flash an older ODIN firmware. There's no use whatsoever in downgrading via ODIN when the ROMs are here.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] michaelg1030:
What's 4WayReboot? Is that a mod?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] chrisram88:
It's a mod that let's you restart straight to recovery, the phone, hot reboot and download mode all from one click of a button. Right now you can only turn off and restart I believe. It's a good mod for flashers that are always flashing new roms .
